strange science news: fetal cells get into mothers' brains.
"When the researchers induced stroke-like injuries to the brains of some of the mother mice, the foetal cells became six times more concentrated at the damaged areas - suggesting they may be involved in repair.

Prof Dawe says it is not yet clear how they are summoned to the sites of injury, but he suspects they are drawn there by "SOS-like" signalling factors from damaged tissue."

Next US Supreme Court nominee Alito (who talks about the father's psychobiological connection to the fetus as a reason for having a veto power over an abortion--amazing how the right appropriates and subverts lefty feelgood rhetoric--so much more lofty than saying that baby's mine and you better have it) will claim that fetal cells pass through the air to the father.

microbionanotechnicians will just engineer some little cellular silicone wings

...which for some reason reminds me that we watched Constantine last night...very good at first for a bunch of laughs. Hell is hell-arious! ...but it gets a bit tedious, too much made up plot adhering to the hidden scriptures in the tar-covered bible from hell.

"It was no Hellboy." (Didn't see it, just thought that sounded appropriate.)

True. But Hellboy was super secular. Constantine is like one of those born-again-rapture-cult movies, only for Catholics.

Did you ever see The Rapture? Early 90s, pre-Left Behind and all that toxic crap. It was more Hollywood skeptic looks at midwest cracker Rapture than Hollywood dumbasses look at doctrinally discursive Catholic rapture (if I'm not mischaracterizing Constantine), but pretty interesting and ultimately a big FU to the Deity as I recall. I caught some of it on cable again a couple of nights ago and it ends with Mimi Rogers standing in limbo because she will not tell God that she loves Him. The supreme being is posited as the ultimate Jim Jones cult fascist, I think--haven't seen the whole thing in a while.

I did see it: very funny. Mimi rogers is great. I remember some cool boiling black sky effects. Constantine is not exactly what I'd call doctrine. More like piled on thick surrealist adolescent fantasy with james bond style weapons for dealing with angels and devils. definitely Hollywood dumbass.
